6 Dont give an attitude (2/2)
She kissed his lips lightly and said ”Love you of course!” 100 damage points!
Albus knew she won and whispered ”You're doing dinner and dishes tomorrow tonight!” She then cheekily smiled broadly and followed Bea out.
. . .
Chao was strolling through some woods behind the particular mountaintop that her house was built on. ”Lady Chao! Wait!” Two voices shouted behind her. As if they'd rehearsed, their voices echoed one another.
”What if you eat something again!” said Albus.
”What if you get lost again!” said Bea.
”AAHHH! I don't want to hear it anymore. Just admire the beauty right now!” Chao's voice rose to a yell, fell to a mumble, and finally rose back up to a call. The two shook their heads and picked up the pace walking on either side of Chao. The forest was full of old grand trees with its voice echoing. The different hues of green and brown, the various calls of the animals in the forest, the small murmuring of insects and the distant sounds of water flowing or dripping created an atmosphere of wonder and relaxation.
'Beautiful' said all three.
All of a sudden, Chao stopped in her tracks looking to the North-East. ”What is it Lady Chao?” asked Albus while Bea pulled out a vial. ”Something new, curious, and interesting.” she replied. Albus sighed, ”We are not experimenting, taste-testing, or even bringing back anything. The last time you found something ”new” everyone got food poisoning and you turned into B00hbah**.”
”It isn't anything edible this time, per se. It has a mind of its own.” Bea chimed in, ”Please don't take out a boat*** to re-enact THAT again. That was the first and last time.” Chao scoffed and sprinted in the direction. ”Trust me. This time, its legitimate. I've been waiting for them for a while now. They're like you all.” With that, they were silenced and followed the scent of pomegranate and volcanic ashes through the crisp forest.
. . .
A beast lied underneath a weeping willow tree. It was similar to a lion except its legs had rich, brown crystalline scales and its fur was obsidian. As Chao walked up to it, its eyes remained closed until Bea and Albus arrived. At once, the three were captivated.
Warm pineapple yellow and medium orchid eyes with black vertical pupils. The eyes were warm while the look was cold causing confusion. The eyes were beautiful but the owner was not welcoming.
”Hey beautiful. A handsome thing like you and a devastating thing like me could cause a riot. Want to do it?” Bea and Albus lagged so hard that they were speechless. The creature responded nonetheless, ”You're insane.” It had a smooth gender neutral tone and at that moment, was filled with disbelief.
”Wow, you're really sharp if you got that from one glance. I'd like to extend an invitation to you. What's your name?” ”I don't have one.”
”Here's the deal, if you join me, you can do whatever you want under the condition that I approve of those actions and you get free benefits.” ”What do you mean by benefits?”
”Your health insurance will be covered, you'll get paid, you get free food, vacation, and power. All you have to do to achieve all this is give me your consent. I'll take it from there.” ”You won't treat me as a lesser life?” ”No dear. If I bothered with my superiority, my life would be boring.”
'Although that last bit was irritating, I believe I can trust her for now, at least. I could use the protection at the moment.' The beast finally stood and bowed its head, ”I accept your invitation and would like to join you...” ”Chao. My name is Chao.”
